About the Item
61087 Antique Persian Malayer Rug, 04'00 x 07'01. Steeped in tribal tradition and time-honored craftsmanship, this hand knotted wool antique Persian Malayer rug embodies a harmonious balance of bold design and refined elegance. Its deep charcoal and navy blue field sets the stage for a captivating stepped diamond medallion, framed by a mesmerizing Herati pattern—one of the most enduring Persian motifs. The Herati, composed of delicate blossoms cradled within diamond forms and stylized leaves, is often associated with fish gliding beneath the moon’s reflection on water, symbolizing protection and abundance.
The corner spandrels, presented on a light-hued backdrop, provide a striking contrast, their geometric abstractions outlined by a bold dark pink sawtooth trim. This jagged contour, often seen in tribal weavings, lends a sense of energy and movement, as if the motifs are pulsating with life. Scattered throughout the composition, boteh motifs, reminiscent of swirling leaves, evoke themes of eternity and renewal. The presence of birds, revered in Persian culture for their association with joy, love, and divine protection, reinforces the narrative of harmony and prosperity. Meanwhile, checkered barley motifs, an ancient emblem of fertility and sustenance, further enrich the Malayer rug’s symbolism.
Framing the composition is a symbolic meander border, where boteh, birds, and barley motifs interlace in a continuous flow, reinforcing the cyclical nature of life and eternity. This elegant framework is flanked by delicate carnation meander guard bands, adding a soft, romantic undertone. Floral motifs have long been a hallmark of Persian weavings, believed to convey messages of devotion, purity, and prosperity—each petal a whisper of the weaver’s artistry and intent.
Finished with an antique wash, this antique Persian Malayer rug retains its full integrity while showcasing softened colors that enhance its timeless charm. The result is a rug that exudes relaxed refinement, seamlessly blending its tribal roots with a versatile aesthetic. Whether placed in a curated study, layered into a modern bohemian setting, or gracing the floor of a traditional home, this exquisite woven wonder carries a legacy of craftsmanship, inviting a sense of warmth and storied beauty into nearly any space.
Rendered in variegated shades of navy blue, charcoal, beige, sky blue, dark pink, champagne, glaucous, rose, baby blue, light pink and light green with other accent colors.
